The ethno-nationalist ―grand bargain‖ which has governed Malaysian political life for the past 40 years is unsustainable. The response to this crisis has been Janus-faced: The Razak Government is simultaneously projecting an image of openness while clinging desperately to the status quo – i.e. maintaining a neo-clientelist relationship with the right flank of UMNO‘s Muslim-Malay constituency. We see this disconnect most starkly in the operationalization of Prime Minister NajibTunRazak‘s ―moderation agenda‖. At the 68th UN General Assembly, Razak called for a Global Movement of Moderates to counter what he called ―the forces of extremism.‖ He sees Malaysia as the vanguard of the moderation movement and argues that Malaysia has much to teach the world on the subjects of peaceful coexistence and moderation. This agenda is deeply idiosyncratic for many reasons, mostly because the current facts on the ground in Malaysia run contrary to stated raison d‘etre of the moderation agenda. Introduction: The launch of Najib‘sGlobal Movement of Moderates GMM agenda was met with a degree of excitement both in and outside the region . The main thrust of the GMM agenda was that Malaysia could take the lead in propagating ―moderation‖ and by virtue of its ―deep pluralism‖ and tradition of inter-communal harmony, could act a model for other ostensibly ―less-moderate‖ majority Muslim nation-states. And the Global Movement of Moderates could serve as a vanguard in the propagation of moderation.
